Tipperary Superintendent Eddie Golden says the statistics so far this year show a worrying trend.
“When I looked at the stats for the first quarter – half of our fatalities were drivers and two-thirds of the fatalities were single vehicle collisions.
“Serious injuries have almost halved compared to this time last year which is a positive and our fatal collisions were roughly in line with the average for the previous five years.
“Historically the Bank Holiday weekends fatalities are quite prevalent.
